<h3>
Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Answer:
6 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 cup of rice is added to 2 3/4 water
We are to determine the Amount of water to be to 2 1/2 cups of rice
Let the unknown number for water be x
So let's solve
1 cup of rice=11/4 water
5/2 cup of rice=x water
Cross multiply
x=5/2×11/4
x=55/8
X=6 7/8
Therefore,6 7/8 water is needed

Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches
d = 103/12 inches
n = 3 weeks
the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,
T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12
T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6
T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches
